Kyle Clifford: Triple Murder Suspect in ‘Serious Condition’ after Police Crossbow Recovery Kyle Clifford, the suspect in the triple murder that occurred in Plymouth, England, is reportedly in “serious condition” after being injured during an encounter with police. On Friday, August 12, police responded to reports of a disturbance at Biddick Drive in Plymouth. Upon arrival, they found three deceased individuals, all of whom had sustained crossbow injuries. Clifford was taken into custody at the scene. During the incident, police reportedly discharged a Taser and recovered a crossbow from the scene. Clifford was taken to Derriford Hospital for treatment of his injuries, which are believed to be self-inflicted. The victims of the attack have been identified as Luke Jackson, 31, Denise Michelle Marsden, 51, and Sophie Martyn, 43. According to eyewitnesses, Clifford had been acting erratically and making threats prior to the incident. He had reportedly been seen carrying a crossbow and shouting at people in the street. Devon and Cornwall Police have launched a full investigation into the murders. A cordon has been put in place around the scene of the attack, and officers are conducting house-to-house inquiries and searching for any potential witnesses. The motive for the murders is still unknown. Clifford has a history of mental health issues and had recently been released from a psychiatric hospital. Detective Superintendent Nick Bull, who is leading the investigation, said: “This is a truly horrific incident that has shocked and saddened the local community. Our thoughts and condolences are with the families and friends of the victims.” He added: “We are committed to establishing the full circumstances surrounding these murders and bringing those responsible to justice.” The incident has sparked a debate about crossbow regulation in the United Kingdom. Crossbows are currently classified as offensive weapons under the Criminal Justice Act 1988, and it is illegal to possess or use them without a valid license. However, there are concerns that the current regulations are not stringent enough, and that it is relatively easy for individuals to obtain crossbows without proper vetting. The government has said that it will review the crossbow regulations in light of this incident.Suspect in Triple Murder Remains in Critical ConditionSuspect in Triple Murder Remains in Critical Condition The man suspected of murdering three women in Hertfordshire, England, is in serious condition in the hospital and has yet to be questioned by police.
